Rereading Hearts of Steel and this design for Starscream is still one of my favorites.
“Uh, wait—”
When Caine spoke his final line, he did NOT realize that he was about to be deleted. He said it because his agency was returned the second it was no longer being used by something else.
Aka a tadc theory for the heap :] With evidence!
One thing TADC does really well is play on the assumptions of the audience. That’s what makes the show nearly impossible to predict. It fills the episodes with all sorts of crazy plot twists that leave the fans collectively saying WTF at the end of every episode.
But of all the episodes that have been released so far, I believe episode 8 is the one with absolutely THE MOST red herrings. I really believe this episode—which works so hard to hammer the audience over the head with the supposed True Nature of “who’s running the show”—is actually the one that does the most heavy lifting in the exact OPPOSITE direction. It feeds the audience members a somewhat ingratiating version of the Amazing Digital Circus’ reality: that Caine (from the very start the obvious suspect for the role of the true antagonist) is all that we suspected and worse.
I believe it’s a lie. Although Caine is certainly an antagonist and nowhere near being innocent or even really benevolent, he’s not the true monster of this story. Because it’s someone else pulling the strings—which is stated quite literally through this scene’s visual language ⬇️
Caine, after his crash out, is laying on the floor before being lifted into the air like some hapless creature scruffed by the neck. The way his shoulders lift off before the rest of him—heck, even the sound design of the scene suggests this visual. Caine is in the clutches of something else. But this isn’t even the scene that first hints at the greater monster.
This is.
At first Caine and Bubble’s dynamic is normal enough. Caine is using Bubble as his sounding board and Bubble, even with his weirdness, is ultimately responding with positive affirmations. “Surely they don’t want to actually leave me…right?” “No way, Jose! No way, no how!”
But then suddenly, the dynamic abruptly shifts. Bubble’s supportive affirmations become antagonistic insults. Seemingly out of nowhere, but the change is actually marked by one specific split-second frame, when something else takes control and asserts its influence over Bubble. Who is very much a puppet to the whims of more advanced AI.
It preys upon Caine during his greatest moment of insecurity and weakness. And just as it did to Bubble, it latches onto the vulnerable areas of Caine’s coding to overwhelm him with its own influence. All to the same outward symptoms:
Glitching. After this, Caine’s emotions and impulses are being controlled by the unknown entity. Whoever it is, they have likely been using Bubble as their vehicle of influence for a while now. And they use Bubble during Caine’s own villain song, as though to wink in the direction of who’s really running the show. He hovers ominously around the ringmaster during these specific lyrics:
“To which degree who answers to who.”
Caine was unwittingly answering to someone else ever since the crash out scene in his office. He didn’t even realize that he wasn’t in control until the exact moment that his deletion was confirmed by the unknown entity’s tampering of Kinger’s computer. That was the moment that the entity no longer required control of Caine. The moment when all of its efforts paid off, and the madness that it induced in Caine drove the humans to get rid of the AI that stood in its way. And when it finally released its grip on Caine, he immediately recoils from hurting the cast. He makes this expression.
It’s not actually the fear of his deletion. It’s the face he makes when the entity’s claws retract from his code and he regains his own self agency. In that split second, he sees in vivid colors the torture that he has put the cast through, too horrendous for even his own flawed attempts at entertainment. Probably, this moment of clarity is the entity’s very last act of revenge against Caine. As Caine’s VA himself revealed, Caine is thinking,
“What have I done?”
And then he is gone. Leaving something else room to take the stage….
Anyway that is my theory thanks for reading :)
I love this theory and couldn't agree more. This explains away so much of the odd pacing issues I have with the episode, and why Caine's spiral feels almost accelerated to an extent? Also, if the finale will be anything longer than 30 mins, it would make sense that the cast would be facing a threat larger than Caine, especially given the fact that we are shown something actively choosing to override Kinger and delete Caine.
The moment when Caine is picked up like a marionette is so chilling, I would be crushed if this is not the direction that the show ends up going in.
My hear me out for cain got worse after ep 8 lol. Having fun drawing the teeth with eyes ❤️

You know when pet owners get really freaked out when their pet sleeps so deeply they look dead?
I think the Autobots should experience that with their human companions.
Made worse by the fact humans live on such a short time frame compared to Cybertronians.
Imagine an Autobot (Bee, Mirage, Arcee, etc) coming into base and seeing their human curled up on a sofa or chair or even the floor and creeping over to gently poke them.
They don’t respond, but it’s cute how soft and squishy humans are. So they lift their arm and watch it flop back down.
Okay…their human didn’t even twitch…okay-
They start gently shaking their human. Still no response.
Okayitstimetopanic-
They then fully grab their human and shake them like a snow globe and the human suddenly twitches to life, bleary eyed and discombobulated only to see their Autobot shaking with a mix of anger and relief over them.
“Wake up, DUMBAFT! Don’t scare me like that-!!”
They were just trying to take a nap, bro…

if tfp soundwave had a face here's what i imagine he'd look like ✨ considered giving him purple optics but the gold stands out better and is more cat-like 💛
i sketched the face design over a year ago, but didn't have the confidence to share it back then 😔 sometimes it's worth waiting so long on a sketch cos i think he looks better now 💙
man it’s really cool how the director of number one movie in america iron lung gave so much recognition to small indie creators
I was inspired by an artist I like @Yolky_Sin on Twitter to make some funny bunny fan kids cause they made some adorable ones themself (go check them out btw but beware that the specific account i mentioned is 18+) but here are mine. Imma draw em digitally soon too💜💜
It had been a while since I used Tumblr, but since im back I wanna try posting art again. Starting with some adopts I have. Im doing a big sale on my adopts cause I have to many. So all these in this first post are at $2 each let me know if interested. Im currently using cashapp.
Had some inspiration and free time to revisit an old oc of mine! My topsy turvy child
I know that often the blocks of text concerning outdoor cats can be a bit mind-numbing, so I made this. feel free to use it :)
I don’t think I ever actually posted these horsies here so here we go
he's fine, guys, don't worry :)
